Mingle2.com, previously known as JustSayHi.com is a dating service where you can sign up, create a profile, and start meeting single people looking for a date. Access is free but extra privileges can be gained for those willing to pay - an upgrade to MinglePlus increases visibility on the site.

Mingle2 is equally suited to those seeking romantic connections as well as platonic relationships such as pen pals.

You may come across people located in almost any country - it has international reach and as such. Once a member you can keep in touch either online or use the easy zip code search option to locate singles in your own vicinity. They also have their own "app" if you prefer mobile dating.

Signing Up

Signing up and creating a member profile is a straightforward, hassle free process. After creating a profile one can head over to the forums or use the site's Mutual Match feature to discreetly view profiles of those that have similar interests. An online meeting can be decided simply clicking the Yes, No or Maybe button. To use the Mutual Match tool, your profile will need a photo.

MinglePlus is there if you're willing to pay a few bucks for the gold star treatment.

The site also offers simple features and a format that is easy to navigate. An email filter allows one to restrict contact based on age range, proximity and even smoking or drinking preferences. Stealth Mode is a sneaky way to take a look at other people's profiles without letting them know you are interested in them.

MinglePlus

While Mingle2.com is a free site, additional premium services can be obtained by upgrading to a paid account (known as MinglePlus). The main benefits of upgrading are that it offers you the chance to have your profile highlighted, and to have it appear before free members in searches, it will also highlight your profile in certain pages, such as who is online, and enables you to see who thinks you are hot in the Mutual Match tool.

Worth It...

In Summary, Mingle2 is a good, honest all-round dating site that you can use for free. While it doesn't have a huge pool of members to choose from (as does OkCupid or PoF), it does have some nice matchmaking features such as Mutual Match, and the Interest Locator.

It's always the same group of trolls with no life who keep posting
there, trying to one up each other. The depressing part is that
they are all middle aged to elderly instead of the teenagers you'd
expect to act this way.

Be very careful not to disagree with a couple moderators.
They will target you and bend the rules, at their whim.
soufiehere, rumor has it, was suspended after she was caught
targeting a member she didn't like.
TxsGal3333 will also target those she doesn't like.

While some sites seem tough to navigate for a while after
registration, this one is not. It's design is fairly
straightforward and I was comfortable communicating on Mingle2
after a short while. The user base could be larger, but the company
appears to be steadily growing in that area. I would recommend it
to most people. I am not able to comment on the premium version, as
I decided that I did not need it.

Terrible experience full of scammers, and insulting forum regulars
playing their silly little troll games. Extremely poor moderation
of posts. There was a very limited amount of genuine people there
looking for dating or a real relationship. That's what you get from
a free dating site.

The paid upgrade gives you little more than what you get from the
free membership. Don't waste your money

Don't bother wasting your time and go to a paid professional
dating/singles matching website.

I am not a fan of the free dating sites or the ultra expensive ones
so this site fits in well for me. The people are fun and you will
find a date quickly. That's just two things that this site has that
even some of the major sites still don't realize it's what we want.

Agreed... it seems that their staff does a good job tracking Review
Sites like this just to counter-argue any complaints.
The Forums there are NOT well Moderated unless you've been a
long-time member that's predispositioned to their lifestyle.

Regardless of anyone's lifestyle... if you don't fit the
Moderators/Long-time members point-of-view... you'll be harassed
until you leave or get banned for defending yourself.

It was better and more active before, if you sign up now, you will
not find that many active members, also when you search you can't
have it sort members based on 'when last seen' that being said the
first 2-3 pages of people you find haven't been active for over a
year (left the site, as is the trend right now). There are a quite
a few regulars on there, but they are still on there and haven't
found love yet, I'm sorry but if it takes since '07 and you still
haven't found a date...then the site really isn't working that well
is it? And yes the MODS are biased, and some are extreme right-wing
Baptist with their own religious agendas/ideas and will have their
mods (Christian conservatives) ban your topics and delete posts
that they don't agree with.
